64B7-28.009: Continuing Education

The Board of Massage Therapy hereby gives notice of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Variance for Pina V. Olson filed on August 31, 2011. The Notice of Petition for Variance was published in Vol. 37, No. 37, of the September 16, 2011, Florida Administrative Weekly. The Petition requested a Variance or Waiver of Rule 64B7-28.009, F.A.C., with respect to the 12 continuing education hours that is to be taken via live classroom instruction. Petitioner seeks a variance or waiver from the requirement of the licensee’s continuing education to be obtained in a live classroom setting. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on October 20, 2011.

The Board’s Order, filed on November 22, 2011, denied the Petition for Variance or Waiver, as the Petition was not in compliance with Section 120.542, Florida Statutes; and did not demonstrate that purpose of the underlying statute would be met.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Anthony Jusevitch, Executive Director, Board of Massage Therapy, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C06, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3256.
